A cow can be any age when slaughtered, especially if you are referring to a female bovine that has given birth to a calf. She can be slaughtered at 3 years of age or as old as 20 years of age.

If you are using the term "cow" in a very loose manner, typically a "cow" (being a feeder steer or heifer) is usually slaughtered at around 14 to 24 months of age. A calf raised for baby beef can be slaughtered between 5 and 8 months of age, and a calf used for veal can be slaughtered from 2 weeks to 3 months of age.

How many months until a cow is ready to be slaughtered?

Since a cow is a mature female bovine, she has the potential to always be "ready" to be slaughtered if she's culled from the herd for a certain reason. Of course, others state that cows are never ready to be slaughtered, but that's based on human opinion. We humans never know if a cow is ever "ready" to be slaughtered or not.

In a cattle farm what is the average lifespan and weight of calves until they are slaughtered and cows and bulls until they are slaughtered?

Male dairy calves will be around 5 to 6 months of age before they are slaughtered, and weigh around 500 to 650 lb. Beef cattle that are raised as slaughter (and thus are no longer calves) are typically around 18 to 24 (sometimes 28) months of age when slaughtered, and reach a target finish weight of around 1400 lbs (or have a body frame score of Choice grade). As for cows and bulls, the age and weight varies greatly, depending on breed, age and reasons for them being culled. A cow or bull can be as young as 2 or as old as 20 when they are slaughtered, and can range from 1000 to 2800 lbs when slaughtered.
